I'm no expert on this but isn't "military service" for someone like him not just sitting behind a desk? Remember to have read something like that, in that case not really something to be "proud" of and let's be honest, mandatory military service in a 21th century democrazy is really outdated.

Germany is planning to bring it back apparently. Yes, as he's been out of Korea for a while, he can only be a low-level civil servant.

I'm sure he would be proud in terms of serving his country however he most certainly won't have wanted to do it. Financially would cost him millions and would lose 2 years of his career and probably a 3rd trying to get back to fitness. (4 if he played for the military club team). He serves his country every time he steps on a pitch anyway.

No, we won't bring it back, that's a complete impossibility by our law. There were only a few politicians thinking about it but there is really zero chance for it, it's not compatible with the "Grundgesetz".

Not when you share borders with a country led by a raving madman who happens to have nukes.

What's ridiculous is not that he was to serve in the army, considering his home country situation, but that winning a football game decide if you serve or not. Straight from a shite mercenary movie or Gladiator.
